IRAN - International female solidarity for Iranian women
April 12, 2025: April 12, 2025 - IRAN. International female solidarity for Iranian women
In a powerful statement of unity, 653 prominent women leaders, including former heads of state, ministers, jurists, and human rights defenders from over 80 countries, have expressed their unwavering support for Iranian women’s struggle for freedom, democracy, and human rights. This statement, presented to Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), during a major event on International Women’s Day 2025, calls for global action against the Iranian regime’s oppressive “Chastity and Hijab” law. The world is rallying behind the courageous Iranian women who, for decades, have led the fight against dictatorship, injustice, and gender-based repression. Their slogan - “No to compulsory veil, no to compulsory religion, and no to compulsory government”—resonates louder than ever.
Below is the full text of this historic statement and the names of its signatories.
Call to Action: Solidarity with the Brave Women of Iran
No to compulsory veil, No to compulsory religion, and No to compulsory government
Join the global movement to stand with Iranian women and girls against the repressive “Chastity and Hijab” law. This law is not only an assault on women’s fundamental freedoms but also enforces a police-state apparatus across society. It constitutes a blatant violation of international human rights standards aimed at crushing dissent and silencing those who fight for equality and justice.
The condemnation of the Iranian regime’s misogynistic policies and systematic oppression of women is a demand shared by women’s rights advocates, human rights organizations, and freedom-loving individuals worldwide.
This law has been described as “criminal, inhumane, and anti-Islamic” by Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). She emphasizes the Iranian Resistance’s longstanding slogan and demand: “No to compulsory veil, No to compulsory religion, and No to compulsory government.”
She highlights that women have been at the forefront of the struggle for democracy, human rights, and justice, with thousands executed over the past four decades in the fight against the religious dictatorship. Nearly a thousand women in Ashraf 3, members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), have become symbols of freedom-seeking Iranian women. Mrs. Rajavi urges all freedom-loving people worldwide to stand in solidarity with Iranian women under the banner of “Woman, Resistance, Freedom.”
We call on women’s rights advocates, human rights organizations, and freedom-loving individuals worldwide to amplify their voices and pressure international institutions to demand the abolition of this inhumane law and hold the regime accountable for its human rights violations.
